The Antibiotic Vitamin

In April 2005, a virulent strain of influenza hit a maximum-security forensic psychiatric hospital for men that's midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. John J. Cannell, a psychiatrist there, observed with increasing curiosity as one infected ward after another was quarantined to limit the outbreak. Although 10 percent of the facility's 1,200 patients ultimately developed the flu's fever and debilitating muscle aches, none did in the ward that he supervised.

"First, the ward below mine was quarantined, then the wards on my right, left, and across the hall," Cannell recalls. However, although the 32 men on his ward at Atascadero (Calif.) State Hospital had mingled with patients from infected wards before their quarantine, none developed the illness.

Amazing!

There was also another article on Vitamin D and TB the other week

Scientists have shown that a single 2.5mg dose of vitamin D may be enough to boost the immune system to fight against tuberculosis

There has been a lot of talk and research on the fole of Vitamin D3 on health in recent years and months. If you do a quick google search every few days theres usually always something new. I think around october time I'm goin to start supplementing at least 4000-5000IU of vitamin D3. Toxicity ranges are MUCH HIGHER than this dose. We typically make around 10,000+ just by going outdoors for around 30 minutes on summers day!
